[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Volkswagen Korea announced on the 16th that it has appointed dog trainer Kang Hyung-wook as the ambassador for Volkswagen's sports utility vehicle (SUV) lineup.

Trainer Kang said, "I currently drive a Touareg, but I recently experienced the Tiguan and Tiguan Allspace on a shoot, and they are also very appealing," adding, "Seeing that two kennels fit comfortably in the trunk made me think that Volkswagen SUV models have the optimal conditions for being with dogs."

Regarding the appointment of an ambassador representing the entire SUV lineup rather than a specific model, Stefan Krapp, Head of Volkswagen Division at Audi Volkswagen Korea, said, "This meeting with Kang Hyung-wook, who has a gentle charisma and sincere demeanor, will be a great opportunity to share and communicate various lifestyles associated with the Volkswagen SUV lineup," and added, "Together with Kang Hyung-wook, we will convey the charm and value of the Volkswagen SUV lineup, which perfectly harmonizes with our customers' lifestyles from daily life to outdoor activities."

The Volkswagen SUV lineup consists of the Tiguan front-wheel and all-wheel drive models, the 7-seater Tiguan Allspace, and the flagship Touareg. In particular, the Tiguan is Volkswagen's best-selling model and has gained popularity recently due to lineup expansion considering the diverse needs of domestic customers. The 3rd generation new Touareg is a model equipped with luxurious interior and exterior design, cutting-edge technology, and dynamic performance.
